Although most of us are aware of the purpose of objects like the headlight, courtesy light, and rearview mirror, yet, there still are many features of your automobile which may seem useless to you but do a great job.
One such feature is the presence of black dots which stare at you, right in the face, from your windshield.
These black bands are called the FRIT, are baked in ceramic paint.

The car’s windshield is held in its place through the sealant, which also keeps out the water during rainfall.
However, the sealant can degrade on exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays.
Therefore, the frit protects it from excessive sunlight exposure.
Besides that, the frit also helps in covering up the glue on the edge of the windshield, which would otherwise ruin the aesthetics of the car.
The black dots of varying gradients that rise from the frit make your car look aesthetically appealing as they form a nice contrast with the windshield.
